Annette, It is probable that Thomas Alfred Akers was born either in Australia or in UK. If the latter, there was only one Thomas Alfred Akers born in England & Wales between 1837 [when civil records began] and 1862. He was born in Hertfordshire in 1859, the son of George Abraham Akers, "Farmer". He appears with his parents in 1861 and 1871 census, but there is no further sign of him in later censuses. There is no record of his marriage or death in England/Wales. Do you have copy of his marriage certificate in 1878? does this give name of his father? If this is "your" Thomas Alfred Akers, I have details of his ancestors, his siblings & their descendants. Best wishes, Adrian Akers.

Vicki-- Take some time & search for your guy here. Earl B. Akers did us all a great service when he started this site. People sent him information & I'm not sure how documented it all was but that is up to you to do your documentation, but go here for some goo solid leads. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~banyantree/ I just checked & his family is still operating it so it is still on line.

This could be your William, listed as William # 3 in the letter written by Obidiah W. Akers. Obidiah and William could have been brothers. Letter is dated 10-4-1907 and was sent to Charles N. Akers of St. Paul, Minn. All the information I have, I got from my parents. First in the settling of the colonies at Jamestown, Va., a man and his wife by the name of Akers: they had two young boys, left England on a ship for the colonies in Va. The parents of the boys died at sea of ship fever. The children were given away to two separate parties. The oldest boy could remember his parents and his little brother and when he grew up he tried to find his little brother but never did. He died and never learned. I have no other knowledge of my ancestors, only of my grandfather. He was born in Franklin Co., Va., in the first of the 17th century and died in 1834. He was 105 yrs. Old when he died. His name was William: he lived on James River. He had several sons. I do not remember all of their names -- first -- Samuel, Daniel Wesley. He had a blind sister, then my father William and the youngest Nat. My mother and father had seven sons and four girls. The oldest son’s name was Blackburn. I was the next one -- Obediah, third -- William, fourth -- Austin, fifth -- Middleton, sixth -- John Calvin, seventh -- Elkanah, the fourth oldest was born Barren Co., Key., the others were born in Jackson Co., Tenn. On the Cumberland River. In 1840 my father and family moved to Van Buren Co., Iowa. My father died in 1858. As for myself, I was born the first day of August, 1814. At 17 years of age I went on the river. I ran on the river fifteen years as a pilot. I left the river in 1845. I ran on the Cumberland , Ohio, Mississippi Rivers. I married in 1840 and in 1845 moved to Iowa and across the plains in 1849 with an ox-team to California, and worked in the mines two years, and went home and bought 200 acres of land in Iowa and cleared up a farm. I worked hard for my wife and children. My health gave out. I sold out and crossed the plains with my family in 1856 and settled in Samona, Calif. In 1866 I moved to Oregon. My oldest son lives in Checto, Calif. Next William lives in Calhoun, Calif., third lives in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, his name is Albert. In my travels I met a number of Akers. They all claim common stock and that they came from Virginia. I think the youngest son of the parents who came across the ocean survived and had a family for the name is scattered over the United States. O. W. Akers
Vicky-- Is the "k" an accident on the end of his name or did you mean for it to be there. I'm asking for a reason. I have a bunch of miscellaneous Akers data & I remember an Obediah White Akers in it. Have no idea of birth date. Just want to check before I got & hunt through a lot of stuff. >> 3. Obidiak W. b. April 19, 1848 Donna in CA Gr Gr Granddaughter of Henry b. 1801 of Estill Co., KY, TX & CA He had brothers William b. c1800 & John b. c1795.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.akers/853.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello possible kin, Are you talking about Calvin and Sarah Akers from Wythe Count, VA? If so, they are my great-great grandparents. My family are descendents through their son James Massie. Here's what I know so far: Calvin Akers was born 17 July 1840 in VA to Jackson Akers (born abt 1810 in VA) and Phoebe Absher (or Abshure) (born abt 1818 in VA). Her parents were John Absher (born in NC ? ) and Margaret Blancet. Calvin was married twice (?), although I can't find any record of a first wife. Supposedly Sarah was his second wife. He had atleast 6 kids and was a farmer or farm laborer. He died 23 june 1932 in VA. Sarah Jane Moore was born 8 April 1849 and died 10 May 1928. I wish I knew more about her, but haven't found anything yet. They are both buried in a family cemetery in Wythe Co, VA. If you'd like to know where I can find out. Hope this helps. If you know anything that I can add to this please let me know. Thanks.
